Are you recommending we hire a "NetSNMP consultant" to come in and explain what
can be done to integrate NetSNMP into our environment? If so, I can mention it
to my management, but I would assume they would first like to know what each
command does internally to the files and NetSNMP environment to see if they can
simply mirror what these commands do.
Anyway, the "build" people here are experienced with integrating other
applications into the build environment. They typically figure out what all
the "setup" commands do internally and then add this "underlying" functionality
into the build process.
I would assume it might be hard to determine what each individual option does
internally or how each option affects the system configuration for use by
NetSNMP, but this is what I have been asked to try and figure out. Actually,
to start, I am only interested in figuring out how hard it would be to mirror
what "Configure", "make" and "make install" do ......
Also, it would be nice to know whether it is a common practice to integrate
NetSNMP into a build environment without using the "configure", "make", "make
install", etc, etc.. commands which are normally used to get NetSNMP
functioning properly.

Your company should probably retain a consultant experienced in these
matters, because it's likely to rapidly wander outside the bounds of
of the library itself, and what help you're likely to get here.
